Umbra ... Guess

Today's word is "umbra" ... UHM-bruh ... shade; shadow. (Dictionary.com)

Guess
The sun came out today,
A middling sun, but still,
The umbra is important,
(Says Punxsutawney Phil)

He knows secret groundhog things,
Which he reveals each year,
And now he's seen his shadow,
Which means Spring isn't near.

Though he says he's always right,
His record's not so great,
Yet we ask him every year,
About our weather's fate!
